It's been awhile...

So it has been quite awhile since I have updated this blog and so felt like I would make a couple of posts.  Since I last blogged Chris has left for BOLC (Basic Officers Leadership Course) in South Carolina.  He left on June 3rd and will be gone til the end of August.  With him being gone is it nice to have amazing neighbors who take very good care of us.  We have our best family ever, The Banks'.  Sarah and I have been best friends since we moved in almost 3 years ago.  Her oldest son Mason has been Noah's best friend since we moved in as well.  They have taken care of us and kept us pretty busy.  While Sarah was at girls camp I was able to keep her 4 kids during the day while Aaron, her husband, was at work.  They kept me on my toes and very busy which was nice because then I had less time to focus on the fact that Chris and I weren't together and I slept well those nights.  We had lots of fun and I even had a little drama.  Kylie bumped her head and got a nice HUGE cut.  Blood everywhere.  For anyone who knows me well they know that I do not do blood.  I actually surprised myself and did very well.  I got her cleaned up, took her to BYU health center to make sure no stitches were needed and then got all the kids McDonald's for lunch.  Although the last day was crazy, we had fun.  We also had dinner with them one night and it was super good.  Then we have our neighbors Randall and Jess.  They are awesome.  They live right across the hall from us so we visit with them often.  Randall came over and played video games with Noah and Jess taught me how to crochet.  We hung out and chit chatted and they just made it a lot easier.  Randall is also a great security system.  I am super paranoid so I told him if someone tried to break in that I would bang on the wall and he knows to come running ready to fight.  LOL  They are truly amazing.
